Visit the Department of Chemistry to try some hands-on chemistry experiments and enter a world of science. Once kitted out in a lab coat and safety goggles, you will be ready to go! Our researchers and students will guide you through our family-friendly activities, with the emphasis on you having a go and making discoveries for yourself.

This year the Department is host to the popular Crash, Bang, Squelch! run by CHaOS to double the fun.

A map and full list of activities will be available from our Open Day website or at the welcome desk outside the BMS Lecture Theatre. Supported by the Walters Kundert Charitable Trust. For further information on all activities, please visit: https://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/outreach/
